I must say I am more than just a little confused. Former Congressman Joe Walsh made some comments that liberals - in particular, the far-left Huffington Post - calls "racist rant". But when I read those comments, what I see is a person who has the best interest of African Americans at heart. Here is what he said - you decide if it is "racist", or if you think, as do I, that HuffPost and far-left liberals are race-baiters trying to divide our nation.

Walsh's "rant":

I have a dream that all black parents will have the right to choose where
their kids attend school.

I have a dream that all black boys and girls will grow up with a
father.

I have a dream that young black men will stop shooting other young black
men.

I have a dream that all young black men will say "no" to gangs and to
drugs.

I have a dream that all black young people will graduate from high
school.

I have a dream that young black men won't become fathers until after they're
married and they have a job.

I have a dream that young unmarried black women will say "no" to young black
men who want to have sex.

I have a dream that today's black leadership will quit blaming racism and
"the system" for what ails black America.

I have a dream that black America will take responsibility for improving
their own lives.

I have a dream that one day black America will cease their dependency on the
government plantation, which has enslaved them to lives of poverty, and instead
depend on themselves, their families, their churches, and their
communities.

Exzcuse me for saying so, HuffPost, but it sounds to me like YOU, not Walsh, are the racists. If Walsh's "dream" were to come to fruition, racism in American would virtually disappear, and black children and families would have an equal shot at the best things in life. If it is racist to want minorities to have a better life, then I guess I, too, am a racist.
